Reference manuals#

These manuals describe the Open API specifications for LIM services. OpenAPI specification is the only valid document providing up-to-date information about the service API. The specification can be used:

  • By documentation generation tools to visualize the API.
  • By code generation tools.

All the documents and code generated using this specification can include inaccuracies and should be carefully checked.

The manuals can be found in the "./docs/ReferenceManuals" directory. This directory includes documents in the YML and HTML format. Documents in YML format contain requests to all LIM services. You can use them to automatically generate requests in Postman. It is not guaranteed that all requests will be imported correctly, manual editing may be required. Documents in HTML format are used to visualize these specification and may not be complete.
